Questions and answers

Are the tests for level A1?
Yes. The tests are for level A1 (CEFR), the first year of German. They suit students from 10 to 14 years old. The last topic (rooms, furniture and Wo?) is for the second half of A1.
Which language are the instructions in?
The instructions are in German, as in a German class test (Klassenarbeit). Each task has a short hint in English. The answer key and the scoring notes are in English.
Why does each topic have three versions?
The three versions test the same grammar with different sentences. You can use one version for the test, one for a retake, and one for a review lesson.
What is the licence?
Licence: one teacher, one classroom. You can print the tests for your own students as often as necessary. Do not share the PDF files with other teachers or upload them to a website.
How do I get the files?
After the payment, the download links show on the next page. We also send the 15 PDF files to your email address as attachments. If you sign in with the same address, this page shows the download links again.
Can I get a refund?
The tests are digital files, and you get them immediately after the payment. For this reason we do not refund a completed purchase. Download the free sample before you buy. If a file is damaged or missing, write to info@sorulab.app and we send it again.
